Caldera Park

Product detailed description

Welcome to the wilderness of North America! Breathtaking views of mountains and magnificent geysers await you. Extensive forests and prairies provide habitat for native animals. Your task is to group animals of the same species into the largest families possible. However, large families are only half the success: to earn many points, they also need access to watering holes and must avoid bad weather.

The turn consists of two simple steps: First, one player selects from a limited selection an element (species or watering hole) and a terrain condition. Then, each player must place one of their tokens with this element on one of the park squares that meets the terrain requirement. What initially may not seem like a problem becomes increasingly challenging and suspenseful as the available squares become fewer and fewer. Your plans, however, can be disrupted not only by the choices of your fellow players. There are also unpredictable weather tokens that you must take into account.

The game ends after five rounds. You will then earn points for the most valuable family of each species and the terrains that you have completely populated.

Caldera Park is an interactive logic game that achieves a perfect balance between strategic planning and luck. Thanks to this and the accessible rules, it is a great next step for anyone who enjoyed Savannah Park.
